TASCAM Debuts CA-XLR2d Series Audio XLR Microphone Adapter for Mirrorless Cameras

TASCAM CA XLR2d Series audio XLR microphone adapterTASCAM announced the CA-XLR2d Series audio XLR microphone adapter for mirrorless cameras. The new CA-XLR2d XLR Audio Adapter is available in three configurations: (1) the CA-XLR2d Canon Kit, (2) the CA-XLR2d FUJIFILM Kit and (3) the CA-XLR2d Analog Interface Kit for use with Nikon cameras and others. Each kit combines manufacturer expertise with audio capturing technology from TASCAM.

As an XLR input expansion adapter for mirrorless cameras, the CA-XLR2d enables filmmakers and videographers to capture high-quality audio directly into the camera. With a digitized accessory shoe from Canon and a hot shoe from Fujifilm, the built-in high-performance AD converter enables filmmakers to transfer digitalized audio directly into cameras without any sound degradation.

Key features of the TASCAM CA-XLR2d include:

  • Microphone adapter to add a professional audio XLR input to mirrorless cameras
  • Direct digital audio transmission via a digitized accessory shoe with a built-in AD converter (only compatible for products from Canon and Fujifilm)
  • Power is supplied by the camera using the data transmission shoe (only compatible with products from Canon and Fujifilm)
  • Built-in high performance: the TASCAM HDDA (High Definition Discrete Architecture) mic-preamplifier achieves high-quality audio, low noise and wide dynamic range (Mic/Line level switchable, +48V Phantom power supply)
  • Two modes on analog output:
    • Camera mode for audio transfer to camera’s mic-in
    • Headphone mode for direct headphone monitoring

The Canon Kit: CA-XLR2d-C

Digital audio transmission directly into the camera and buss power supply from the camera is available for a cable-free system with high mobility. The CA-XLR2d is planned to be compatible with the multi-function shoe of the Canon XF605 Professional Camcorder. This combination provides a maximum of four XLR input channels in addition to the built-in two XLR channels on the camcorder. Product compatibility includes the Mirrorless camera [EOS R3] and a Professional Camcorder [XF605].

The CA-XLR2d also works with existing cameras that do not have the multi-function hot shoe by connecting an analog audio cable between the CA-XLR2d’s analog out and the camera’s mic-in. It comes with an included 2 x AA battery box.
